Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser
It only makes sense to ensure the safety of our vehicles because they are a source of pride and joy. The Autowatch Ghost system is a discrete immobiliser that is connected to the vehicle CAN data network. It operates via the ECU which is your car's brain..
Once it is installed, the device will prevent your car from moving unless the pin code sequence you choose (up to 20 presses) is entered, much like a PIN on your credit card.
No key fobs, LED indicators to indicate the location of the item.
The Ghost Immobiliser is virtually invisible to anyone who enters your vehicle as it does not use LED indicators or key fobs. The system makes use of existing buttons such as the centre console and door buttons as well as the steering wheel to create a unique, changeable pin code sequence that must be entered before your vehicle will start. The system can be configured to require up to 20 presses before the engine will begin to turn on making it nearly impossible for thieves or cloners to hack into your vehicle.
Modern car thieves utilize diagnostic tools that are professional to detect what security systems are in vehicles, however the Ghost does not transmit signals as conventional security systems do. Criminals can identify the type of security equipment installed in your car by using sophisticated technology for RF scanning, code grabbing and relay attack techniques. This will permit them to modify the immobiliser or alarm circuits to disable your system and steal your vehicle.
In contrast to other immobilisers on market It is unique in that the Ghost is incorporated in your vehicle's CAN data network, which means it is near impossible to hack and bypass. The system is compatible with the latest models that do not have key fob security. It also works on electric vehicles in the majority of cases and can even stop the car from entering "service valet mode".
After installation by our fully trained engineers, TASSA will verify the installation to ensure that it is secure and up to standards. TASSA is a group that improves and maintains standards in the security industry for automobiles. They make sure that all their approved installers have been DBS checked and are fully trained, insured and certified for Ghost installation. You will also receive a Ghost emergency card, installation certification and owner guides. This will also make your vehicle eligible for a significant reduction in the cost of your insurance. This is because your vehicle is less likely to be robbed and your insurers will have an easier time recovering.
No Circuit Cuts
The Ghost is a CAN bus immobiliser which protects your car better than anything else. It's not linked to LED indicators or key fobs but instead communicates directly with your vehicle's CAN system. It will then block the ECU and prevent the engine from starting until a specific PIN has been entered via the vehicle's dash or steering-wheel buttons (brand dependent). This makes it impossible for criminals to hack the system through relay attacks, or any other method.
The system has a Service & Valet mode that is activated while the vehicle is in garage for servicing or valet parking. This allows the vehicle to start temporarily whilst being worked on without having to hand over the keys or enter the pin code, but then it automatically turns off when the vehicle is in your possession.
The Ghost is a more secure alternative for classic, sports and luxury cars that need to be kept away from the battery when parked for extended periods of time. It's also not detected by modern scanners for RF and code grabbing technology, making it difficult for thieves to bypass or hack.
If you're looking for a comprehensive vehicle security solution that not only protects against key-cloning and hacking, but can also track your vehicle in the event of theft then we recommend one of our S7 tracker systems which work seamlessly with the Ghost to give you total security. All installations are performed by an approved installer by TASSA, who is fully certified as well as insured and knowledgeable. You'll also receive an emergency card from Ghost along with owner's manuals, as well as installation certification.

No Scanning with RF
Many car thieves use sophisticated equipment to copy keys and steal vehicles. These systems can be located on the internet and require only a few basic skills to operate. These cloning devices don't employ RF scanning to locate the Ghost immobiliser.
Instead, the system utilizes the buttons on your car to create an individual pin code push sequence. This is done by using the buttons on your steering wheel, door panels, or on your centre console. It can also be changed and not a pin number like a remote key fob which makes it very difficult to hack.
This makes the Autowatch Ghost very secure and extremely easy to use. It does not require an iPhone, but can be utilized with a small waterproof tag or an Apple or Android App (sold separately). You can simply switch into service mode using your mobile device, then drive away ghost immobiliser fitting and then return the vehicle to valet mode & disable your phone. This is perfect for classic cars and luxury vehicles which are often taken in for maintenance at garages of dealers.
Brand-dependent brand-specific, these CANBUS immobilisers work with other external security devices such as alarms or trackers. This allows users to decide whether they want to prioritise their alarm or tracker over the imobilisers CAN bus. This is particularly useful if you have a Thatcham-approved Tracker installed, as the tracker will be armed prior to the time Ghost is activated.
The CANBUS immobiliser blocks codes that were sent by the remote keys used in the initial setup to the ECUs and BCM controllers. This prevents them from activating the engine or even starting the vehicle. These systems are able to provide an additional layer of security for cars with remote controls that are factory installed.
The Autowatch Ghost will provide you with a higher level of security for your BMW. It is almost impossible to detect since it is hidden within the wiring. It doesn't have LED indicators or keys-fobs, which prevents a criminal from not noticing its presence.
No Electronics Detected
As a top Thatcham installer, we install a revolutionary new product manufactured by Autowatch called the Ghost Immobiliser. It effectively prevents Keyless Entry theft or cloning that is increasing in modern automobiles. It is a hidden device that doesn't rely on LED indicators or key fobs. It utilizes the factory buttons in your car to generate an individual pin code sequence that you can push. This is required to start or move the car. Unless this sequence is correctly entered, the car will not start or move at all. Many insurance companies now require this device to be installed as a standard, and it can often result in a reduction of monthly cost.
It is not necessary to cut wires to install it, since it connects to the CAN bus and works through the ECU. The device cannot be detected with the kinds of diagnostic tools that thieves using high-tech use and there is no way to listen for the distinctive clicking sound of a conventional relay as on a more conventional security device. The Ghost Immobiliser may also be programmed into the service mode, so that your vehicle can be started and driven without requiring the PIN code which is beneficial when taking it to the garage, or for valet parking services etc. The PIN code can be changed for additional security at any time.
The Ghost II is TASSA-approved, which means it is only available from installers who are fully certified. This offers a higher level of security and also ensures that the Engineer who installs it is DBS certified as well as trained and insured.
Meta Trak VTS is a GPS tracker that can be hidden in your vehicle. This will provide the best level of security. This is especially important if you have left your keys in the ignition when the vehicle is not being driven. There are a variety of ways to trick the driver to believe that keys are in the car, allowing theft to occur.
